Rumors that Amazon is preparing to introduce TVs under its own brand have ceased to be rumors. The company has just announced its first TVs, and there are eight new products at once, they are divided into two series: Fire TV 4 – basic, Fire TV Omni – standing one step higher.
New items will only go on sale in October, but prices have already been announced. They look like this:
Amazon Fire TV Omni:
- 43 inches – $ 410;
- 50 inches – $ 510;
- 55 inches – $ 560;
- 65 inches – $ 830;
- 75 inches – $ 1,100
Amazon Fire TV 4:
- 43 inches – $ 370;
- 50 inches – $ 470;
- 55 inches – $ 520
The Fire TV Omni Series supports long distance voice control without the need to press any keys. You can ask the TV to start a TV show, play music, display the weather forecast, or display pictures from smart cameras located around the house. Basically, you can interact with TV in the same way as with smart Amazon Echo speakers. If you want privacy, the microphones can be turned off – for this, a switch is located under the screen. And if you need video calls, then the TV can be retrofitted with a webcam with support for the Zoom service.
Fire TV Omni supports Dolby Digital Plus and wireless Echo speakers for a wider listening experience. The 65- and 75-inch models are the only Amazon TVs with Dolby Vision HDR support.
Amazon Fire TV 4 features thicker screen bezels and does not support webcam connectivity. These TVs also have a voice assistant Alexa, but it is not activated by voice – only by pressing a button on the remote. Fire TV 4 supports HLG and HDR10.
